Boo-tiful Running: Our Spooky Week! 👻🎃

Something wicked this way comes... and it was wearing a head torch!

This week, Runspire Together turned into Runspire Terror-gether, with Halloween treasure hunts at all five of our run locations. Our members took “dress to impress” very seriously.

We had witches’ hats, pumpkin antennae, pyjamas covered in grinning pumpkins and one very striking Beetlejuice. Say his name three times and he’ll lead your run. (Please don’t. He’s already too fast.)

Between the hi-vis, the glow-in-the-dark bits and the head torches, we looked less like a running group and more like a very friendly ghost convention. We even found a giant, glowing pink inflatable ghost on the route. He didn’t want to join in, but he did pose for photos.

The treasure hunts had everyone sprinting (or strolling) around, hunting for clues, arguing over answers and laughing far too much for a group that was supposedly “training”. Nobody was scared, except maybe of the hills.

Huge thanks to everyone who dressed up, joined in and made this such a spook-tacular week, and to our run leaders and volunteers for hiding the treasure and keeping us on track.

Fancy joining the fun? Come along to a session. We don’t bite. 🧡
